When I got mine, I'd say it would be suitable for audio recording (before any upgrades.) a 20 GB HD is good enough (you can always use an external firewire hd,) 192 MB RAM is not too slow, and Panther (runs Audacity well) makes the machine more than suitable for simple audio recording IMO. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
